Shaped Diamond Engagement
Will the diamond in the engagement ring we ordered be too big?
My fiancee and I looked at some engagement rings in jewelers and had trouble finding one with a diamond bigger than 1/4 ct size in the marquise shape. They are very beautiful, but my fiancee wanted me to have something a bit bigger than what the shops had. We finally decided to order a solitaire with a 3/4 ct diamond from a reputable internet site and are waiting its arrival. I am a bit worried if the size of the diamond we ordered might be too big - I wear a size i, my fingers and hands are quite small. anyone have any opinions about this?
if I were a showoff i probably would already know how big a diamond is - haven't got a clue about them. I certainly wouldnt ask a question worrying about it being too big if I wanted to impress everyone.
3/4 carat should be fine.

Places to Find Less Expensive Diamond Engagement Rings
A hurried purchasing of jewelry items is never advisable. There is a huge amount that the average earner has to fork out. Hence, the efforts should be directed towards finding out those places where jewelry such as diamond engagement rings is available at lower costs. Actually, it is not easier to find out such traders. You will have to make extra searching, besides considering the ways to cut the overall costs.
The cost of diamonds is usually very high, if the precious stone is of great quality. With all the 4C-clarity, color, cut and carat being of high standard, the stone becomes very expensive. Before you set out to find right places for buying the rings, it is advisable to first know about the tips on reducing the costs of the gem.
A sure shot way to lower the costs is to opt for those diamonds that are little downwardly placed on the quality parameters. But there is no significant reduction in the brilliance and fire of the precious stone for diamond engagement rings. The stones having little inclusions or flaws are always cheaper to buy and the cost will go down if its color is yellowish. Another way to chop down the costs is to opt for lesser numbers of facets on the stone’s surface. Instead of a heart or pear shape, the stone should be of rectangle or square shape, if budget is the concern.
Once, these aspects of cutting the costs are in your mind, you are well prepared to find out the right places of shopping for the jewelry.
There are two main places where you can shop for diamond engagement rings. The first usual choice of the couples is to visit the nearby jeweler’s shop. For many people, the shop provides convenience as the shopkeeper may be known to them. But will he offer the jewelry at cheaper rates as well?
Brick and mortar shops have to spend on overheads that only increase their spending. Hence, such shops are unlikely to be the choice for budget couples. However, they can visit the shops for having a glimpse and feel of the rings and they can compare some designs as well. if they still want to purchase the ring from the physical shops, they must ensure that they are not paying the same price that is mentioned on the tag. They can always ask for lower prices.
To escape from usual static price tags of the physical shops, you should take resort in the online shopping when purchasing diamond engagement rings. The online retail jewelers are always prepared to pass on the advantage of no or low overhead spending. Therefore, their prices are competitive as they have to reduce the prices to remain in the tough online jewelry business.
But not all the online sellers will be offering cheaper rates on the rings, though their rates are lower than brick and mortar shops. Some online jewelers need to beat the competition more than others. It is such jewelers who will cut down the prices more than others. You will have to make a search on internet for such online sellers.
Hence, search the internet extensively and go through numbers of jewelry websites. Compare them for prices of diamond engagement rings of your specifications of designs, settings, colors etc. The more comparison you make, the higher are chances of finding out the jewelry well within your budget.
